A new book about to hit bookstores on March 25th, The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse, takes a scientifically- and medically-grounded look at the neuropsychology of zombies. So it appears there may be a practical reason why the walking dead thirst for "BRAINS!" after all.

Penned by Dr. Steven C. Schlozman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School -- and an all-around zombie enthusiast -- the book takes a unique look at zombies through the lens of reality and medical science, thus turning it into an immediately frightening experience since alas our final emotional defense mechanism -- "This isn't real" -- is completely stripped away from our arsenal at the outset; the makings for both a compelling premise and intriguingly gory read.

Today we have a fun and informative book teaser that sets the working parameters of the mythology that is sure to send a cold chill up your spine (that is unless the living dead haven't already removed it for use as a sippy-straw). The teaser was shot by New York-based filmmaker Hugo Pérez.
